Account
The witness was camping overnight with relatives and sleeping in a truck after hearing branches breaking. While watching toward nearby horses with night vision, the witness saw a tall man-like figure staring back that towered over a standing horse. The figure then bent double and swayed its head in time with the horses. A relative also said he saw a man standing in the same direction.
